Radio Interview on 6PR (Perth)

Christmas Eve 2014 I was interviewed on the Perth radio station 6PR (http://www.6pr.com.au) about my experiences of having cochlear implants. 

The interview was 20 minutes in total but here is the first 10 minutes.

A few more photos of the movie and then I'll stop talking about it. At least until it gets released :)

A New Career?

This week was a very exciting one. I landed a small part in a new movie being shot in Sydney starring the Australian cricket legend and all round nice guy, Brett Lee. I played the receptionist working at Cochlear - my implants on show in all their glory.

How on earth did this come about you ask? Well,a few scenes were shot on location at the Cochlear headquarters in Sydney. I've been a fan of Brett Lee's for years so when Cochlear asked if there were any cochlear people that wanted to be in the movie I couldn't put my hand up quick enough!!!

So 24 hours later I found myself in hair and make-up, on set, in Sydney and talking to a real life movie director (he was lovely by the way, Anupam Sharma).

IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!

The movie, titled unIndian comes out around March 2015 and if my scenes aren't cut I'll be the most excited person alive.

A little movie for Cochlear

Cochlear Limited asked me for a quick video to show the Cochlear shareholders at the 2014 AGM in Sydney, Australia. This is what I sent them:

I asked my son today to turn the sound down on his gaming console. His reply? "Can't you just turn your ears off instead?". Well ……………… I suppose I could ……………….

The Cochlear Annual Report for 2014 has been published and guess who is in it? You'll never guess. I'll give you a clue ……………… someone with a cohlear implant ………………… too hard? It's me!

They didn't photoshop my wrinkles out but Woman's Weekly would describe that as being "natural and embracing my age". Here is the link to my wrinkles: http://www.cochlear.com
